katonice Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 These videos provide quite good explanations on the various elements making up the PCS score. It's a sizeable collection of videos, but it's interesting because it helps understand what good quality transitions, skating skills, interpretation, etc. look like. (Now can we send these to the judges...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
